Yu Xiuzhun’s tall figure leaned against the chair back, sitting like that for an entire night.

He never even changed his position.

The cigarette between his fingers was replaced one after another.

The ashtray by his side was already filled with cigarette butts.

Even the interior of the car was surrounded by a thick cloud of smoke.

In his ear was the assistant’s report from the investigation.

"Mr. Yu, that punch was not light. Miss Ye has a slight concussion, and there has been bleeding from her nose and mouth, but fortunately, there is no intracranial bleeding. She is currently under hospital observation..."

Yu Xiuzhun’s heart suddenly tightened.

In almost that second, he wanted to go in and see her.

But thinking of how she had risked everything for Jin Chenye, he forced himself to hold back.

Yu Xiuzhun sat there the whole night, continuously watching the hospital entrance, observing Qin Youxuan and Dan Hanjie go in, then leave.

Then, he saw Jin Chenye leave.

Inside the hospital, Su Yiru should be the only one left.

Until Su Yiru walked out of the hospital door, Yu Xiuzhun’s deep eyes suddenly focused, steadily watching Su Yiru hail a cab, and leave the hospital.

He hesitated for a second, just a second, before Yu Xiuzhun quickly pushed open the car door and got out.

He turned and strode toward the hospital.

Even knowing Ye Mingmei probably didn’t want to see him at this moment, he couldn’t control his urge to go see her.

The assistant quickly received news and hurried over.

"Mr. Yu, it’s been found out that Miss Ye is in the VIP room on the top floor. Currently, there’s no one else in the room besides Miss Ye. Here’s the elevator card for the top floor."

The assistant handed over a card from his hand.

Yu Xiuzhun reached out to take it, then turned and quickly entered the elevator.

"Ding—"

The elevator quickly arrived at the VIP ward.

Yu Xiuzhun’s handsome figure stepped out of the elevator and walked to the door of Ye Mingmei’s ward.

Through the small glass window on the door, he could clearly see Ye Mingmei lying in bed.

After Su Yiru left, she seemed tired as well and obediently lay down to sleep.

The redness and swelling on her face hadn’t subsided much overnight, half her face was swollen, red mixing with purple bruises, extremely striking.

Yu Xiuzhun’s eyes tightened, looking at her peaceful sleeping face, his heart filled with an indescribable heaviness.

His hand at his side was clenched tightly into a fist, restraining his emotions.

Ultimately, he couldn’t resist, reached out to push open the door, and stepped inside.

Yu Xiuzhun’s footsteps were very light, making no noise as he opened and closed the door; Ye Mingmei, in a deep sleep, had no idea someone had entered her room.

Soon, Yu Xiuzhun was at her side, closely observing the wounds on her face, and the annoyance in his heart grew even stronger.

He wanted to shake her awake, ask her if she was out of her mind.

Had she considered the danger to herself while blocking that punch for Jin Chenye?

If he hadn’t pulled back a bit at that time, she might not have only had a concussion.

The one in the most pain from that punch landing on her isn’t her, it’s him.

Yu Xiuzhun’s lips curled into a self-mocking smile, his long fingers brushed over her delicate brows, his wicked eyes flickered.

He thought he had become cold-hearted, never holding back against her, but for the first time, he was haunted by guilt for hitting a woman.

Even pressured by why he couldn’t stop himself in time.

Making her end up in the hospital...

Yu Xiuzhun lowered his head, pressing a soft, gentle kiss on her lips.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he saw Ye Mingmei suddenly open her eyes.

Four eyes met, both of them were stunned.
